Bad news though. I got diagnosed with carpel tunnel syndrome a couple weeks ago. No joke. I thought it was tendinitis from golf (had it since May 2011), but it turned out to be more serious than that. I'm seeing a physical therapist and was told to reduce all computer use as much as I can. I'm not even supposed to be on here right now, but saw that I got some PMs as congratulations and sure enough, I won this award. Seriously, could the timing be more awful.

Anyway, I definitely try to make good posts as often as I can. It's too bad I won't get to post at all for a while because of this. Even typing this now is hurting me. I should make a full recovery though eventually and don't need surgery. But if I kept going on the path I was going, I would've made it a lot worse. I'm only 28 and never took the whole carpel tunnel thing seriously but it turns out it's a very real thing.

It's too bad because it looked fun to make posts with the Member of the Month award thing in your signature.... kind of gives your posts a bit more legitimacy. But oh well. I need this to heal. Badly.

Sorry for keeping this so short, and thanks a lot to everyone here who gave me a thumbs up in the past. It means a lot. This is my favorite website by far and this award is more of a reflection of the community here being so informative since pretty much all my knowledge comes from here. I'm just really good at using the search function. I've been a lurker since the first day I ever played golf and I joined the site only four months later. This means a lot.

I hope to be 100% again soon so I can return to being a regular member. Thanks again, guys!

JetFan, also sorry to hear that. Time to invest in some of the speech-to-text software packages? I've heard they're quite good these days (though I suspect their dictionary of golf terminology may be lacking…).

I don't know what to say. I guess first and foremost I need to thank God. Without him I wouldn't have the shotty attention span that I use to post on this forum during Stat 201 lecture. Umm. The state of Tennessee and it's lottery scholarship that helped pay for my laptop. And of course mom and pop. Without them I wouldn't even be here. But most of all. THANK YOU SANDTRAP!! Without your love and support I wouldn't be accepting this award. Y'all drive safe tonight and thanks for comin' out.
